A New Remedy for the Headache.

We clip the following from the
Physicians and Surgeons Investiga-
tor-a good medical authority:
The remedy Is nothing more nor
less than q solution of the bi-sulphide
Of carbon. 4 wide-mouth glass stop
pered bottle is half filled with cotton
or fine sponge. and upon this two or
three drains of the solution are poured.
When occasion for its use occurs the
mouth of the bottle is applied to the
temple or as near as possible to the
seat Of pain, so closely that none of
the volatile vapour may escape. and
retained there four or five minutes or
longer For minute or so nothing
is felt, then comes q sense of tingling,
which in few minutes-three or four

applied, if necessary, several times in
the day, and it generally acts like

We believe that this was the basis
of a once popular nostrum The class
of headaches to which it seems especi-
ally adapted is that which may be
grouped under the broad term of

and hysterical headaches. and even
many kinds of dyspeptic headaches,
are almost invariably relieved by it.

that the Yapour being absorbed
through the skin produces a sedatiye
effect upon the superficial nerves of
the parts to which it is applied. We
know by experiment that its influence
is not due to its power as a counter
irIitant. We, however, know that it
does act, and if we do not clearly see
in what way it acts, that is no more
than can be said of several other
remedies which are firmly established
in professional favour and confidence.

Amid the throng of canoes that come
crowding around us as usual appear three
or four big arstocratic boats manned by
twenty or thirty natives apiece, and rooted

mating which proclaims them to be the
property of chief. One of these black
magnates-a rather good looking Young
fellow, with features almost as regular as
those of a European-comcs on board,

original title Of David Fine-C Country"

This is produced by kind of rude har-
monium formed of thin Stats of wood
nailed upon rough framework, and
played with two short sticks. This

as musical instrument, every note being
a signal unintelligible to outsiders. In
this way two natives can hold converse

How Victoria Was Named.

Considering the strained relations
with Russia which have marked the
whole course of the queen reign it is re-
markable that her first name. AleXan-
drina, should have been conferred upon
her in honor of the then reigning car
of whom the Duke of Kent was an adj
mirer, and who was our faithful and
close ally. 1t was in the Castlereagh
period Ct our foreign policy. George "
was TO have contributed another name
Georgiana. But Georgiana Alexandrina
would have deprived the emperor of the
place of precedence, and "Alexandrina
Georgiana would have derogated from
the claims of the name borne by the ac-
tual king of England and all his Hano-
verian predecessors. The name of the
queen mother was therefore substituted
for that of her uncle. In the commence
ment of the christening of the new born
princess she was called Alexandria Vic
toire, but the second name was speedily
Anglcized or Latinized into Victoria.
little before William Tvs death
there was some fiutter among official
people as to the designation under which
the queen expectant should be proclaimed
and should remain, and Lord Campbell
then Sir John Campbell and attorney gen
eral, represents himself as having decided
this matter, in conjunction with Charles
Grevile and Lord Lyndhurst as represent
ing the opposition, in favor of the baptis-
mai names for the proclamation, leaving it
to the queen to choose afterward the name
under which she should reign. Among
other absurd suggestions there was one
that she should be styled Elizabeth H.
The assumption apparently was that her
majesty was always to remain maiden
queen, with perhaps Lord Melbourne for
her Leicester, Lord John Russell for her
Essex and Sir John Campbell for her Sir
Francis Bacon. The fates happily have
otherwise determined. But it is
curious to think that but for chance or
caprice OF good sense we might now be
preparing for the jubilee not of Queen
Victoria, but of Queen AleXandrina or

Is the quarrel between The Herald and The

about it. Cesnola is director of the in

the great restorer," whose trial for
alleged palming off of worthless new pieces
of satuary as examples of ancient art re-
celved so much attention in the metropolitan
newspapers year or two ago In recent

possessed of similar desires regarding the
people as those that were attributed to Mr.
vanderbilt some years ago. This the gen
eral repudiates in The Tribune with much
vehenence, and he adds that he doesn't by
any means despise the populace. His family,
